We are Greg Allison and Will Powell; two UNC seniors, with the ambition of running a marathon for something greater than ourselves. Through our initiative with Chatham Habitat for Humanity, The Building Phase, we will train for the City of Oaks Marathon, building our mileage and Chatham Habitat houses along the way. Read about our training and our building, join The Building Phase Team, and support us as we build!

Press Release

Quick note for you local yokels:

Gregor and I were mentioned in the October release of the Community Sports News. This is a local, monthly periodical that compiles accomplishments, events and results throughout the Triangle.

On page 6, in the "Running News" section, under the subtitle "Woods Second At Asheville HM", is the quote, "Local award winners were William Powell, second 20-24, 1:26:36, Gregory Allison, third, 1:26:37;...".

Very small, but very cool acknowledgement. We appreciate the Community Sports News being such a comprehensive source of information. If you haven't checked it out, you should. It's free and distributed locally at Whole Foods, the Community Center, Homestead Aquatic Center, Foster's Market and many more venues.

Shout-out to my bud, and stellar athlete, Josh West for pointing this article out! If you're into reading about endurance sports training and racing, give his blog a view at: http://joshwestruns.blogspot.com/ . He's fast, insightful, and he has the smarts to explain some more science-y things than we usually write about. It always brightens my day when I see he's updated!
